Johnny Depp as John Dillinger on the set of PUBLIC ENEMIES



A movie that cannot arrive soon enough is “Public Enemies,” the next film from Director Michael Mann that stars Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, David Wenham, Marion Cotillard, Giovanni Ribisi, Stephen Dorff, Billy Crudup and a ton of other great actors.

In fact, Universal is so confident in the film that they’ve scheduled it for release on July 1st, 2009. And with the pedigree involved in bringing John Dillinger’s story to the screen…I think it's safe to say this is one of next summer's must see films.

According to Wikipedia, the film will focus on FBI agent Melvin Purvis' attempt to stop criminals John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, and Pretty Boy Floyd. Christian Bale plays FBI agent Purvis, Johnny Depp will play Dillinger, and Academy Award winner Marion Cotillard will play Dillinger's girlfriend Billie Frechette.

Anyway, thanks to our friends at jfxonline, we’ve been given a few exclusive images from today’s filming here in California.

According to our source, Johnny was giving away tiny wooden toy guns to commemorate the end of shooting, which is what he and Stephen Dorff are looking at in the picture below. The bag has the words Public Enemies Illinois Wisconsin Indiana 2008 stitched into it. Also, he bought the entire crew beer and enjoyed a couple with them as well.

I’ve heard Johnny has signed thousands of autographs all across America during this shoot…and for someone that doesn’t have to do such a thing, it’s great to hear how gracious he is.


Obviously as the film gets closer to release we’ll be covering it. Until then, enjoy the images!

I'm so pissed that I never got to see them filming the whole time they were in Chicago. Mostly because I'm lazy.

IA..I missed him here, James McAvoy and the Dark Knight cast.. I live like 50 miles from the city so unless I had class I didn't want to go downtown.

Though Johnny Depp was in Joliet, someone in one of my classes got to be an extra, and Joliet is maybe 30 minutes or so from me.

I was an extra in The Dark Knight last summer and it was honestly one of the most fun things I've ever done.

Go to Navy Pier at 3 in the morning, wait around for a while and talk to the 800 other extras there, about 300 of which were dressed as prisoners. There was a lottery every 3 hours about, (I was there for 16-ish) and at least 10 people won iPods, computers, digital camera and gift certificates. They bussed us downtown and we walked up and down Wacker, we were supposed to be evacuating Gotham. There were adorable boys carrying around trays of skittles and little packages of cookies. I was pretty much in heaven despite wearing a winter coat in June. I stood about half a foot from Christopher Nolan. He has the dreamiest eyes and dresses impeccably.

[info]myselftheliar so I have this theory that1st-Jul-2008 03:04 pm (UTC)
Johnny Depp looks 30, forever. He has looked 30ish since he was in his teens and just continues to level off at 30 years old. Flawless.

I've loved that man since I heard him play in "Fade In/Out." I love him and Vanessa, they are perfect together.

They apparently own a house here in Vermont and word has it Johnny doesn't smell too nice.

Oh well, he's still awesome.

SO EXCITE FOR THIS MOVIE.

When Bale was speaking in his accent in that one interview, GUHHHHHHHH. Too bad it's not Scorsese directed because that would take it to the next level.

OT: I just watched Mars and Vic Zhou is a Hottie McHotstuff.
[info]daijouboo 1st-Jul-2008 04:12 pm (UTC)
This girl in my stage makeup class met him downtown while he was waiting for a car in costume. He spoke with an American accent apparently.
[info]sonnete 1st-Jul-2008 04:16 pm (UTC)
From what I heard in the interview he's got the whole Chicago gangster accent going on, it's so hot.
[info]daijouboo 1st-Jul-2008 04:22 pm (UTC)
oh wow...I can't, it's just too much! We're talking about Senor Bale still, right?
[info]sonnete 1st-Jul-2008 04:26 pm (UTC)
YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS. I think I might faint or something when I see this movie.
[info]eyes_thatlie 1st-Jul-2008 04:05 pm (UTC)
i really hate when movies have "all-star" casts like this. how many big names do they need in one movie?
[info]labellereine 1st-Jul-2008 07:06 pm (UTC)

[info]apothecaries 1st-Jul-2008 05:08 pm (UTC)
I'm so glad I didn't meet Johnny in Chicago. I would have puked then passed out.
[info]apothecaries 1st-Jul-2008 05:10 pm (UTC)
I forgot...my friends brother is a tap dancer in one of the scenes.

I'm really bitter that I wasn't an extra.

SOME TRUE FAX 'BOUT MR.DILLINGER: Since John Dillinger's favorite actress was the awesome Myrna Loy, he went to a theater to go see one of Loy's films called Manhattan Melodrama starring Clark Gable and William Powell, and when he left the theater after the film was over, he was shot to death.

I just noticed that, it makes me sad :(
[info]sarcasticcheese Re: Hello missing tooth...1st-Jul-2008 11:01 pm (UTC)
The "missing tooth" was for the role. The tooth is there, they just did something to make it look like it wasn't.

Heh, those first few pictures of him in the t-shirt with no sleeves - a friend was one of 3 people that were in that "meet and greet" group with him.

Up close, his skin is flawless. And he has soft hands.

I was just happy to meet Christian Bale and get the two pictures signed by him for me and my friend. He is more gorgeous in person. Took alot not to just reach over and grab and kiss him! hee hee hee
